Antoinette Weibel, Professor of Public Management at the University of St. Gallen, tackles two topics in the context of Workplace Wisdom: competences and group processes. In her exploration of competences, draws a parallel to chefs judging a recipe. Just as a chef assesses taste, presentation, and quality, evaluating competences involves understanding an individual’s skills, knowledge, and abilities. The goal is to identify strengths and areas for improvement. In the realm of group processes, she likens it to a harmonious orchestra. Each instrument contributes uniquely, and effective leadership ensures coordination. Diverse skills and collaboration create a well-rounded result, much like a symphony.
